She rents a room, enters, tries to turn on the light, but there is no electricity, he finds a candle cinder, cleans all, trying to clean a new home. Among the abandoned things, somewhere behind the closet, she finds letters, tied with a black ribbon. Letters written by an unknown woman many years ago. A woman who used to be in a similar situation also lover, was also forced to part, but committed suicide. The white ghost of the mistress appears on the screen as soon as the lines written are in sound.
